the writing on the wall

"Anne M. Carson's poetry: 'Writing on the Wall' was inspired by her trip to Delphi in Greece whereby a tour guide introduced her to the Slave Wall made of limestone that was engraved with the names of l,000 former slaves who had been released from slavery 2,000 years earlier in Ancient Greece." ~Tomitheos

fun fact: the popular term 'writing on the wall' widely used as a phrase in songs, literature and in language actually originates from the Bible where a supernatural omen appeared as writing on the wall foretelling the destruction of the Babylonian Empire.
